Persian Rice Ring
For over 3,000 years, Nawroz — in Persian “naw” is new and “roz” is day — the Persian New Year, which symbolizes renewal and rebirth, has been celebrated during springtime in central and western Asia along with parts of the Balkans.
This Persian rice ring is a showstopper, and though the recipe is complicated and lengthy, it’s not hard to make. I’m always looking for ways to reduce the amount of meat I eat, so the mushrooms and lentils are added to contribute texture and flavor to the filling.
